OPINION: Sunrise Powerlink
By Jim Bell, jimbellelsi@cox.net, www.jimbell.com, 619/758-9020

Anyone paying attention to SDG&E's proposal to build a 120-mile electricity transmission line through San Diego County to Arizona has already heard most of arguments against it. It will be an eyesore, a fire danger, an impediment to fire fighting, a health hazard, dangerous to low flying military aircraft on established training flight paths. It will lower the value of people's property anywhere this “transmission super highway” runs. It will also traumatize a strip of natural habitat including park land, at least a half-mile wide and 120 miles long with out regard to topography, wildlife impacts, damage to unique habitats, erosion and water shed health in general.

Update on the State of the Future
By Jerome C. Glen and Theodore J. Gordon

Is the future getting better or worse? According to the latest edition of State of the Future, global prospects for improving the overall health, wealth, and sustainability of humanity are improving, but slowly.

The picture painted by the report gives much cause for hope. The world has grown to 6.5 billion people, 1 billion of whom are connected by the Internet, and the annual economy is approaching $60 trillion. However, there is also much cause for concern. The great paradox of our age is that, while more and more people enjoy the benefits of technological and economic growth, increasing numbers of people are poor, unhealthy, and lack access to education. In the years ahead, globalization will present humanity with both challenges and opportunities as increased connectivity highlights our strengths and our shortcomings as a global community.

Emei Qigong: for Healing Yourself & Others

Emei Qigong teaches how to heal yourself as well as how to heal other people. To many, this kind of healing can appear to be a “miracle,” meaning something that is impossible to explain without resorting to a claim of divine intervention. However, for those who practice Emei Qigong, these “miracle healings” are easily explained, they are the product of working with energies that are well understood within that system.

The Results Are In
Following Perricone’s Approach to Weight-Loss
By Marlene Martin

After three months on the Perricone diet I'm ready to report my results and conclusions.

My results are good: a 7 pound loss so far. I'm going for 10. I'm back in my jeans and my waist has returned. I realize that this doesn't seem like a very big weight loss for that amount of time, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how much better this weight-loss makes me look compared to other programs I've tried. It took about two months to lose the first couple of pounds, which was rather discouraging, but Melissa, my Perricone coach, said I was doing great, and that was encouraging. Now I'm thrilled with the results because my muscles are looking really good, especially in my legs, thighs and face and the sagging skin which occurs often in other programs is nowhere to be found.
